Bruno Kreisky dies NEW YORK (JTAl Bruno Knbiky, a bom Jew whoee actions during his reign aa chanoeDm-of Auatria raised strong itfotests from Israel and the Jewiah community for what was widely perceived as an unfair attitude toward Israel, died Sunday of heart disease at Lainz hoepital in Vienna. He was 79. Kreisky, a sdf-dedared agnostic, was a figure of great controversy among Jews becauae of his relationa with Arabs, J>articularly the Palestine Liberation Organisation. At one pcint he called off a planned trip to Israel over concerns for his safety, following his invdvement in a controversial prisoner exchange. Elected chancellor in 1970, Kreisky's recotd 13year rrign over Austria was marked by a great increase in Austria's relationa with the Arab world andthePLO. In 1981, Kreisky compared Israelia to Germans under Hitler. In 1982, in the wake of the ISTMU invaaioo of Lebanon, he eeverely attacked Israel. On the eve of the 1973 Yom Ki|q>ur War, in reaction to the abduction of
Soviet Jews by Paleetinian raiders on the Schonau Castle Transit camp, Kreisky closed the center, despite a desperate, lastminute tr^ to Vienna by then Prime Minister Gdda Meir. Jeny Goodman, former directs of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, recalled that the center had become a target of threats from Arab sources, waa too accessible to the public and was a i^ecoil^ dak. Austria subsequently opened another fadlity with better security. Kreisky's credit for keeping a Vienna tranait center open was also recalled by Leon Zelman of Vienna, director of the Jewish Welcome Service. Zelman also remembered Krelaky's warm tiea to hia Jewlah mother. Kreisli^'s brother, Shaul, livee on a kibbutz in Israel, according to the Israeli Consulate in New York, echoing an oft-heard report While not enamored by the tactica employed by the Palestinians, Kreisky still incraaaed hia oootacta with Paleetinian leadera, like PLO chief Yasir Arafat.

jpoiimf^ ®j? •w^L®'^ Should homosexuals be ordained as labbls?
NEW YORK—Should gay and leebian Jews be ordained aa rabbia and allowed to serve Jewish congregations? That controvnraial issue reodved widely differ ing leqwnaea in the Jewiah community in recent weeks, and promises to become a subject of wideepread aoulsearchlng among American and Israeli Jews in the months ahead. After four yvars of intendve study, the Central Confennoe of American Rabbia, the rabbinic arm of Reform Judaiaili, voted unanimoody to yitkacM homoaexaals into the Reform rabbfaiate. In a ddicatdy balanced atatement—whkh deeervea to be read fan fuU-the CCAR reeohtion affirmed "heterosexual, monogamoua, procreative marriage (aa) the ideal human relationahip (in Jewiah tradition) for the perpetuatkm of apedee, oovcnantd fulfillment and the preservation of the Jewiah people." At the eame time, the Reform rabbia acknowledgtd the reelity of hcmoeexuaUty among aome of ite menJMra and aoiiight to accord them full raUgioaa equality, inchiding in the rabbinate Orthodox Jawidi leadere vigoroualy oppoaed the Reform dedaion. The traditiond view ia baaed on the firm belief that the Torah and Jewiah law atrictly prohibit homosexual activity.

WhUa the Ublkal teaching in Lavitkaia 18:22 condamba homoaaxnality aa "an abomination," my aenaa ia that the onooadng debate irill canter far more on aockilogieal than on thaologlcd grounda.

East Germany opens citizenship to Jews (^©©01© By Jo Cmmia Movies are perfect for summer time fun. You can go just about any time the mood strikes you. If you find yourself with time on your hands just after lunch, there's bound to be a movie that starts about 1 p.m. If you've g(HU swimming in the afternoon and would like to see Bomethhig relwdng, chances are your neighborhood movie is showing at 5 p.m. If you have a hot date and want to enjoy hia or her company for an evening, chances are youll stiirt out'ai the movies aMiit 7 p.m. Or maybe yo^r family eats pappet later now that ibe sundoiwai't go ddwn ao eaiiy, aiid so you're bMter off trying the movies that start at 9 p.in. AaA lor those tp^ dal premieres you just have to see as soon as they hit the screen, you.can probably catch them on a sneak preview at midnight. If Dad has cut your allowance or Mom is making you put more of your dollars into savings, the $1 mpvte can be quite attractive, Of course, if you've already seen all the latest flidcs, you can haunt the video stores to rent your favorite classic or perhaps you and your friends would like to scream once more at that special horror movie. We all are fond of certain movies. It's fun to escape into the big screen once in a while. It could be a cartoon character who reminds you of the time you went to the movies with your favorite uncle or it od^t be you'U never forget a soft spoken movie star who you imagined you looked just like. Movies are fun. Andy BeasiogOT is a Harrison Ford fan. Ford starred in "Raiders of tte Lost Ark," which ia Andy's favorite of all time. And Ford is in "The Accused," Andy's pick for this summer. He says it's a "really good" movie with a good stoiy line. Angel DePtvte isn't really into the movie scene, but she doeslflw musk: vkieos. "New Kids on the BkxJc, Live in New Ywk," is at the top of her list. Angel likes to watch "New Kids" perform, there's no doubt about that. Tiad Kutler foimd a new movie this summer that rates better than one she's seen to date, "Pretty Woman.'' Trad goes to the movies about once every two weeks with her friends. Actor Bnu»Willia kaa at kast one fan in Omaha: Debbie Zacharia. Debbie chose Willis' movie "Die Harder" as her favorite of the summer flicks. She thought it was funny and had a great story line. I must admit the movies we have to choose from this summer have a variety of themes. But I have yet to figure out how the system's rating process works. Some moviea with a PG-13 rating, which means parental guidance is suggested for those under 13, shouldn't be seen by anyone under 105111 think others bear the "R" rating simply to make people want to see them. After all, a lot of TV commercials ahow peq>le in more "R" rated scenes Uian most movies.

By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke ©1990 Paraahat Va«t-hanaa What la Prayer? Jews, and others, often wonder about the liturgicd character of Jewish prayer. Why is each morning service, for exanqile, almost identical with yesterday's and tomorrow's? Wby are there changea only for spedfic reasons, like the occurrence of the Sabbath, or Roeh Hodesh, or a Holy Day? Why is there so littJe erf spootandty in the service itself? Tlie Midrash has already given attention to this problem, or at least to some parts of it. As is its wont, the Mi<bash finds (arti&iBl^ contrived) references in the Bible to serve as precedents for an orderly, organized, pre-set arrangement of services You might ask, for OTwmple, whether one nuy redte his prayers in a loud voice. The lifidraah points'out that the sages already ruled against that practice. On the basis of Hannah's prayer (I Samud 1), they ruled that prayers must be pronounced, word for word, but silently. Hannah's prayer was silent, but her lips moved. The Hij^ Priest Eli, obswing this, thought she was mumbling nonsense, under the influence of liquorl Wdl, what about praying everything that is in all our services at one dtUn^ The Midnuh insists that we follow the OTample td Danid, who, a londy young man in an alien envirotunent, nonethdess offored three distinct prayers during the day (Danid 7). In that case, perhaps it would be acceptable to offer the three sarvioes separately, but at times during tha day that would suit my convenience, perhaps one right after another? No, on Uie basis <rf Psdms 55, the prayers should be evening, moni and afternoon. Perhaps most imp(»tant: Why not utter my persond prayers, my petitions to Ood, my own privatei hopes — and be done with it?

And heaven only knows the Kennedys can't get the hiccups without it being newsworthy. Or at least without the powers that he deciding it is newsworthy, ri^t or wrong. When my son passed the New York Bar Exam (the first time he took jt, I might add) there were several of us who felt like it ought to be on the front page of the Timea, but he wasn't (and isn't) the B(HI of a President or a member of one of the most well known families imaginable.

What do interfaith couples do for holidays? ByASBmrnKaaUn NEW YORK (JTA) The Chriatnus holidays, wfakh qymbolize wannth and toflntherness for Christiaiia, are often a aouroe of stress and discomfort for Jews. But for the evergrowing jiumber of households with interauynr^ PVtners, and even for those in wfaichine partner lias oooverted to Judaism, the holidays can be no less than a time of crisis. Popularly iaiown aa the "December dilemma," the problem of dealing with the odebraticMD of Christmas and Chanukah often marks a turning point in such couples' overall approach to rel^pon, both for themselves and for their children. While intermarriage isconsidered a deeply disturbing trend for most in the Jewish community, it is an undeniable reality. According to research b^ sociologist Egon Mayer, about 35 to 40 out of 100 Jewish marriages now include a non-Jewish partner. Appnndmatdy 25 percent to 30 percent of intermarriages involve conversion to Judaism, with an estimated 6 percent converting to Christianity. For intermarried couples, the holidays are "the annual test of how they handle tbeu: differences

the rest of the year," Mayw Mid. "It brings to a head difiennoaa that ar» there all year raond^but cannot be avoided diving this time of year because of the high awaiensBS that Christmas and Chanukah arouse." Thoae involved agree. "The Deeembv dikmma intensifies and highUfl^ts what happens £iting the rest of tJte year," said Roberta, a noihJewish wonun with a Jewish husband, in a recent workshop on the issue at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y. Wed during the 1960s whm they were self-described "fellow Berkdey radkala," Roberta and her husband did not find the issue of religion troubling during the first 11 years of their marriage. She said she had always assumed their home vrould be a potpourri of religious and cultural traditions. She had happily participated in Passover seders and assumed that her husband wouU accqit her traditions just ss ttderantly. After their first child was born, she said ahe hapeA that their family traditions mi^t now include a Christmas tree. She was utterly \mpnpared for her husband's reaction. He said the tree would not only disturb him but deeply threaten him.

"It's like having the boot of the oppniy in my own home," lui'told her. ' The Christmas tree debate led Roberta to rethink the role religion should play in her Irame and reaolted in a growing involveoBtnt in Judaism for the entire family, lley joined a progrsesive synagogue on Manhattan's Upper West ade. niOch attracts many intermarried couples. Tlieir two daughters have attended reUgioua school and the eUest is now prepering for a Bat Mitsvah. The daughters converted to Judaism, although Roberta heriself has not. Despite the family's growing Jewishness, Roberta's rebctanoe to surrender her cultural heritage is symbolixed in the small Christmas tree that' still stands in her home. Roberta's case is typical in that it is usually the Jewish partner who feds most threatened by the odebration of Christmas. With the weight of American society's stress on the Christmas holiday, Jews fesr that if they allow signs of Christmas inside the home, thdr Jewishness will be eroded. "Jewishness ba^ been such a threatened identity iat so kmg," said Rabbi Rachel Comon. who directs intertetth I^nigrams for the 92nd St. Y. "The paradox for them being hivolved with someone nonJewish is that their Jewish identity is threatened in an intimate way." Non-Jews do not fed an equal threat. Cowan aaid, and are usiiaQy much more open to Jeiriah symbols uid traditions. Therefore, it is' usually the nonJewish psrtner who feels the fainily ahould cd» brate both rdigions, and the Jewish partner who resists it Neil Jacobs, another woriahop pattidpant, aaid
that "Christmas was unquestiopably the worst time of year" when he was growing up. As a young boy attending yeahiva in an Italian neii^ibfriiood. he did not direct^ experience anti-Semitism, but said he "fdt more vulnerable" in addition to feeling, left out and alienated^ He ia adamant in wanting his hone with his wifo of five months free of Christmas symbols, and has gone as far as to oppose having a poinsettia pisnt in his home during the holidays. He has, however, agreed to celebrate Christmas with his new wife's parents at hxs childhood home in Vetmont, and will learn, he said, to "force the words 'Merry Christmas' throu^ my teeth." "Joan is my wife," Jacobs said, "and these are her parents. To cut them off and not show respect for their traditions is not correct." Line Romanoff, who heads the Philaddphiabased Jewish Converts Network, said that even in homes where a partner has chosen Judaism ss his or her religion, it is often difficult for the person to give up treasured childhood symbols of family holidays. One convert Romanoff counseled was active in Jewish Ufie but had such an emotimul attachment to the sjrmbol of the Christmas tree that she actually kq>t a fully decorated tree hidden indde a doeet during the holiday season. "Every year, she would dt in a cLoaet with a Christmas tree end cry," Romanoff said. "She called hersdf a Christmas tree junkie. On the outside, she was a modd Jew, but she had a deq>, daric secret." In cases where the nonJewish or converted partner feds it is impossible to

Romanoff tokl the woman's Jewish husband to be patient and advised her to go ahead and put up the tree. "A year later, the tree was smaller," Romanoff sud. "As tinie went on, it got smaller and smsllsr. Eventuslly, she sdd she didn't have to have it aqymore. As her ocHnfort le\^ with Judaism increased, she didn't need it."

In the end, he says, "rifts between Jews and other minority groups such as blacks wiU deepen." In an interview with the Jewish TelegTsphic Agmcy, Tobin explained that as dismal as the future of the American Jewish community may look, there are a nun^ber of ways to prevent the impen^ng problems of the next century. "At the present, we are in a period of rebirth as well as assimilation. WeVe on the upside ri^t now. The baby boomers are now discovering their cultural roots.

"If Jewish organisstkms toA instituticms play a more pro-active role in dealing with issues of intermar riage, Jewish identity and reijafordng Jewish life, then the Iwart of the community may remain strong." Leaders in American Jewish communal life are not ccmqiletely convinced by Prof^fMor Tobin's predictions or his prescribed sduticms. Larry Rubin, associate executive vice-dudrman of NJCRAC, sees a much more favorable forecast for the American Jewish community in the 21st century. "I wouU disagree with a forecast that predicts fl^oom and doom for the Jewish community," he says. "The Jewish community^: is vibrant and exdting and there's no reason for it not to continue to be this way. "These problems are important, but it seems to me that Jewish organizations have a resp<msibility to stress the values and virtues of the community. I'm not suggesting that we should be complacent; we can always do better."

HAIITA — the pnetobt of noB^Mra amoog Jewish immigrants to laniel is aa old as Jewish history. In the twelfth chq>ter of Genesis we find it recorded thut when the ChiUren of Israel kft Egypt, "a mixed multitade went up with them..." HW numbers tod^ are by no means as large, but esch case disoovered is given fall attention. Down the way from ds on Leon Blum Street, three inter-related families, with a total of 29 persons moved hito new apartments, with a tovdy view of Haifa bay. Th^ told neij^bors how ovwcome tiiey were with the warm wdcome at the airport. They are grateful for the furniture, the fine homes and the hospitality of the neighbors. They thought all this was eapedally nice since, they said, aO of them were observant Christians. No, they had not tried to fool anybody and they had not made any claims. They only wanted to get out of Russia. ^id the other day, abo in Haifa, which is apparently getting almost one third of all the immigrants, a recent gratofol arrival, who was cdebrating his "eacapo," imbibed a bit too fredy, and between laughs uui hiccups boasted of bow easy it had been to pass all members of his family as Jews. He did have the decency to praise Jewish hoqiitaUty to the skies—far, far warmer a wdcome than theiy had expected. I understand there have been similar occurrences amoog the immigrants to the United Statee. Durbig the height of the Holocaust there were tens of thousands of caaes of Jews who assumed identity as Christians in order to escape the fate which Hitler had ordained for them. "Today hi Israel the shoe is on the other foot. In a different category entirely are those bona fide Jews who have no genealogical evidence of thefr Jewishness. Every Ut of substantiation is grasped at A faint and Ifrigering kmnriedge of Yiddish, especially among the old fblka, is helpfuL Russian identity documents, in wUch their Jewiahness is attested, have all had to be left beUnd. Whoi I asked whey they didn't make xerox copies of these for themselves, 1 was told, "What worid<,are you living in?" More serious is the problem of Jews who had miginaDy soui^t to divest themaelvee of Jewiah identity. In the case <rf intennaniage, Soviet law permitted the children to be listed aoooiding to the nationality of either parent so that even if the mother was Jewish, the child could have been recorded as Ukrainian. No one ia embarrassed or turned away at Ben Gurion Airport for the interpretation of the entrance requirements is extranely liberal Israel's Law of Return entitles the arrivals to many economk benefits. If one member of a family unit can show that he is undeniably a Jew, the entire family qualifies for admission with all ito privileges—parents, spouse, children, down to the third generatiffii, even wlwre there had obviously been intermarriages. The problems wiU come later. The nonJews among them can always convert officially, espedaUy when thers ia need for rabbinical help, as in cases of mariiagB, births, div<»ce or burial. Moat of the male children and a Gonsidsrable number of adults had not bttpdrcomdzed in the Soviet Union, but arrangemanta are made here to facilitate such drcumdskina for those whose Jewiahness is not in doubt. Israel's Minister ol ReUgiao, Zevulun Hammer, who has adopted a very liberal attitude, estimates that as many as 30 percent of the immigrants are, strictly spealdng, not Jewish according to halaclia, although tikey are of Jewish decent consider tbemsdves as Jews and were so regarded in the Soviet Union. MeanwUle, back there the main question troubling the Jews still awaiting departure is not the regard to jobs or housing, but "wfll we be aoospted as Jews?" Lettera and even worried phoos calls all center about this queetion. The attitude of the rabbinate today is on the whole helpfuL Airthetmore, it is enoouraghig to recaU that the dose to 200,000 Soviet Jews who came dfrectly to Israel in the lint wave of immigratioa from the East, all had simflar problems, but everything waa solved quietly. The same ia sqwcted now. The Chief RabUnato has issued a sUtemsat "welroming the'new immigrante. Reoognlidnc that they come from a country where there had bean no opportunitiee for organiied Jewiah life, the Rabbinate haa called upon the Orthodox community, iqwo rabbis and ysshiva students, to vohmteer time to help fadUtate the^iMtual faitegration of these people faito the life of ths country.
By RabM Mendri Katmisn All of the 618 mitavot in the Torah find their ,basis in the Ten Commaiidmento friilch are rq;ieated in this week'e Tondi portion, V'Etehanan. The Ten Commandmente begin with the duties of man to Q-d and condnde with hia oUigationa to his felknnnan. This order brings out the point that even the most elementary jffindpies of morality aiid ethics are worthless unleee baaed upon an acceptance of the liwt two gMnmandments: "I am G-d your G-d... You shall have no otbo* gods before Me." In Jewish life, thete cannot be a divi8i(» or dichotomy between man's dutiee to G-d. file unity of your bdief in one OHI should have a deep effect on each of us, and a pervasive influence on every detsil of our lives, creating a harmonious unity betwen the material conocnis and the sj^toal aapecte of our dafly amduct Needless to say, this balance is such that the needs of the spirit are the deciding factors in our conduct. What about educating our youth in these two areas of man-to-man rdatiooshipe and man-to-G<l relationah^W? Tbe eqierte agree that education in the area of inter-human relations must start at a tender age; the child must learn, very esriy on, to be good to his friends, to have reqiect for his pemto and eUers, etc. Simikriy, education in Tqrah and mitcvot must also begin in ssijy childhood. The verse, "And you shall teach them to your children," appsan bi the
Torah portion V'Etehanan. It is our reqxmaibflity to teach our children the rich Jewish heritage which is their inheritance. Thdr Jewiah education must begbi as early BS possible witib we, the parente, teaching by exanq>le.
